Storyworthy
Storyworthy: Engage, Teach, Persuade, and Change Your Life through the Power of Storytelling | Matthew Dicks
4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
A five-time Moth GrandSLAM winner and bestselling novelist shows how to tell a great story — and why doing so matters. Whether we realize it or not, we are always telling stories. On a first date or job interview, at a sales presentation or therapy appointment, with family or friends, we are constantly narrating events and interpreting emotions and actions. In this compelling book, storyteller extraordinaire Matthew Dicks presents wonderfully straightforward and engaging tips and techniques for constructing, telling, and polishing stories that will hold the attention of your audience (no matter how big or small). He shows that anyone can learn to be an appealing storyteller, that everyone has something “storyworthy” to express, and, perhaps most important, that the act of creating and telling a tale is a powerful way of understanding and enhancing your own life.

Took this picture earlier today at the campus bookstore - it's for my 3-week storytelling class! I've never had required reading for this before but I like this book as a manual of sorts. (And right not I'm all set up and still have 20 minutes before the students show up. I might be excited.)

Excellent guide to telling a good story. Ignore the subtitle and self-help categorization, this is about the craft of telling stories. Google the author to see him win story slams! "this is going to suck" is excellent

I don't have a pretty stack because my goal is to get through some eARCs for #24in48. I was reading this on the couch, but fell asleep and dropped my Kindle on the dog. He was already freaked out from the vacuuming I did earlier, but seemed most concerned that my Kindle not take his bone. (That's using Dicks' zigzag story technique!) @24in48
Guess I'll go to bed and read more in the morning.
